Lynne and I were classmates and lifelong friends. We grew up together in Brooklawn, New Jersey and were in the same class in elementary school, high school, and Sunday school. When I moved to the Midwest in 1965, Lynne and I continued keeping in touch via handwritten letters. She had the most beautiful handwriting and would keep me informed about her jobs, vacations, family, and the old home town. Lynne also made the trip to Chicago to attend my wedding in 1966. Lynne was always doing crafts while I was mostly reading books. I still have a cross-stitched Christmas card she made for me one year. I will miss Lynne, but I'm so glad I had her for a friend for so many years. My condolences to Tom and the family. Darlene Haggas Arendt
